Reel Reviews | Holland
Perfect lawns. Hidden secrets. One suspicious Polaroid. Holland wants to be a psychological thrill ride, but not even Nicole Kidman can save it from its own blandness.

Lioness is nothing if not consistent. Through the fog of its incessant sociopolitical incoherence (also nothing short of ur-typical of the militant-spy genre), each episode delivers an even mix of A-list scenery chewing, insane dialogue, and small-screen action that actually kinda rips.
Lioness can’t decide what war it’s fighting. In just three episodes, season 2 has racked up a kidnapped congresswoman, a mysterious threat from China, and our own corrupt DEA.
We’re only three episodes into Lioness season 2, and we’ve seen a ton of surprises.
What was a simple kidnapping plot is now concerned with preventing a global war with China.
The series follows three women in the CIA’s “Lioness” program, which sends female operatives undercover into dangerous criminal organizations.
When one lavish wedding ends in disaster before it can even begin – with a body discovered in Nantucket Harbor just hours before the ceremony – everyone in the wedding party is suddenly a suspect.
As Special Ops: Lioness enters season finale mode with “Gone is the Illusion of Order” (Episode 8) – The Sheridan-O-Verse is replete with portentous episode titles – let’s get back with the QRF crew, who we instantly bonded with way back in Episode 1.
